There was an article on R4 this morning about it. Quite interesting.

I'll have a look for it on iPlayer.

Post by Brian ReayI've been half expecting Spike to pop up and tell us one of hisstories about his experiences decoding them. Still there is stilltime.There was a programme on either R4 or R4extra on them- something like'Catching the Lincolnshire Poacher'. A, slightly, well known SWL wasin in Simon Mason? Perhaps I have the name wrong.

Simon Mason is an SWL, he posts in uk.rec.cycling. I'd xpost but it'sone of the few groups that are worse than this one.

The other Ian Jackson is there I think. The one Cummins confused withour Ian Jackson.

The programme I was thinking of was Tracking the Lincolnshire Poacher(not Catching). It is on YouTube:

"RSGBTech is meant for everyone", or so the RSGB says. The group ismoderated 'toensure that the questions are on topic', but the group's own admissionspolicy mention(a pre-) 'vet', 'known', 'trouble', and 'maker', but not the vettingpolicy! None of these arementioned in the RSGB's Guidelines, which they claim the group shouldfollow.

You can also find them online of you search for the Conet Project. I'vealso got a recording of Tracking the Lincolnshire Poacher somewhere(from iplayer) and as I recall it was Simon Mason with a Sony ICF-2001D.

I think Simon may have it on his website- I vaguely recall seeing it inthe past.

I remember another interesting programme which was on R4 or R4exsomewhere around that time, UnSung Heroes. It told the story of theradio amateurs who assisted after 9/11.

I can't find it on YouTube.

Give the BBCs habit of 'recycling' material, I'm surprised neither seemto have been rerun several times.
